This pin was issued by the Japanese Ice Hockey Federation in advance of the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano, Japan. It was distributed on a small card containing the slogan "Goal to Nagano" in support of the Japanese hockey team's successful bid to qualify to participate in the 1998 Winter Games hockey tournament. The Nagano games would mark the eighth time that the Japanese participated in the tournament, though out of 14 participating countries they managed only a 13th place finish on their home ice. This pin has a value of $10.00 USD, though I have seen it sell for up to $43.40 USD.
